Boot from the instalation floopy.

Interrupt the install.

Mount your hard drive manually. (/etc/mount /dev/dsk/0s1 /mnt)

Edit the password file by hand. (/mnt/bin/ed /mnt/etc/passwd)

Unmount the hard drive, shutdown (/etc/uadmin 2 0), and reboot.

The location and name of some of these files may differ on your system.
